Current Zap configuration:

  1. In Slack, when a user adds an emoji Reaction to a Slack message >
  2. a Jira ticket is created.

Currently, the Jira ticket Summary field is set to “New ticket from Slack”.

Question: Is it possible to have Zap read the context of the Slack message or ideally that entire Slack thread, then generate a Jira ticket Summary?

Hey ​@avomd,

Yeah it’s possible. Try this workflow-

  • New Reaction Added trigger
  • Retrieve Thread Messages action
  • Create Issue action

This is a sample workflow and you may need to add extra steps as workflows are usually personalized to user’s needs. Hope it helps!
